Do you wonder whether there are other members in Gilwern with the same hobby/interest as you, and whether it would be possible to meet up to share thoughts/activities?
If you do...
- Contact Groups/Hobby Corner Co-ordinator, at the monthly talks or online at Jacqueline Peacock - Groups Co-ordinator and explain your idea.
- Your idea would then be put on view at the Monthly Talks and on this website
- If anyone else is interested they can then contact groups or put their name on the piece of paper displayed at the monthly talks where your idea is described.
- If 3+ members share the same interest, the Groups Co ordinator will then put you in touch with each other and you can see what evolves
- It may be that there are enough of you to form an official u3a group if you want to
- Or, you could simply get together and do your own thing
Ideas so far suggested by members where a few more are needed to form a hobby/group:
Discussion:
Is anyone interested in joining a group where, a current issue is chosen by members to discuss each month, we think about it, perhaps do a bit of our own research, then come together to have an informal, friendly and interesting discussion?
Climate Matters:
The u3a has an online interest group which focuses on ways to mitigate climate change. There are also u3a branches around the U.K. with their own local groups. Is anyone else interested in forming a group in Gilwern?
Gardening:
We have a very active Garden visiting group, which invites members to visit some very interesting and inspirational gardens, providing us with good ideas to use in our own gardens.
But is anyone interested in joining with others for plant/seed swaps, perhaps occasional glut swaps of home grown veg. and the group could help each other with particular gardening jobs, such as a weeding blitz, pruning or any job that multiple helpers would soon make light work of?
Interested? Contact Jacqueline Peacock - Groups Co-ordinator.
